Integral Digital Sentry® world-class security software provides
IT-focused, scalable solutions that allow users to manage data for
multiple locations from a single client workstation. DS NVs is a
software-only management solution available for systems with 4, 16,
32, or 64 video channels. It is also HD-enabled, capable of recording
and displaying exceptional high-quality images captured by Pelco IP
cameras with Sarix™ HD technology. This tight integration between
product and technology makes DS NVs a robust HD end-to-end
solution.
DS NVs provides users the flexibility of installing Digital Sentry
software on the server of their choice. Customers with standard PC
or server platforms can reduce their cost of ownership by leveraging
that existing platform, volume pricing, technical support, training,
maintenance, upgrade costs, and more. Also, only the software
requires an upgrade when new Digital Sentry features are available.
(MONITOR NOT INCLUDED)
From a central location, the same user interface is used for viewing
and managing IP cameras and encoders simultaneously. This is
especially important for users with existing analog systems who
want to transition to completely digital systems. Because
Digital Sentry is based on an open architecture, DS NVs allows
customers the freedom to choose the PC/server platform and IP
cameras that best fit their application.
DS NVs supports the IT-focused DS software suite that includes
network health and event monitoring, video analytics, and archive
utility.
